Every Big Ten school was at home this past weekend — except Rutgers and Indiana. Let’s look at who showed up.
Rutgers not only opened on the road, it did it three time zones away. That won’t happen the next two years as RU opens at home against Washington in 2017 and Texas State in 2018.
But that’s not for another 360 days. What happened last Saturday?
First, a quick look at how the Huskies drew with a Big Ten team on the schedule. Last year, Washington’s average home attendance was 61,919. Their home opener on 9/12/15 vs Sacramento State drew 55,010.
